LIGHT FESTIVAL ENDED WITH LIGHTLESS LIFE:
Bangalore, Pallavi S.J 05/11/2013 tuesday:
the eye injuries beyond 154 people! RAISE IN THE VISUAL INJURIES! THE
BLINDNESS CROSSED BEYOND HUNDREDS! CRACKERS INSTEAD OF SPARKLING THE
LIGHT HAS BROUGHT THE PERMANENT DARKNESS! Yes, Its the situation of
silikon city Bangalore, which is well-known for educateds and
awareness creaters. The diwali festival which was celebrated for three
days with the hope of light has brought darkness for life time for
more than 154 people because of their fate. yes, unfortunately, in
most of the cases, the darkness has not entered because of their
irresponsibility but because of others' mis-perseption and wrong
prediction.
"I was just returning my home after finishing laxmi pooja from my
shop towards home. but, on the way, i was about to purchase flowers
for my home to worship and while parking my bike, a cracker blosted
exactly into my eyes and i couldn't remember anything more than that.
when i opened my eyes, i could not see anything, but i was in the
hospital. the doctor has told me that, my eyes can not be retained"
says Sateesh, a medical representative in Bangalore, who lost his eyes
out of others' crackers and admitted in Narayan Nethralaya. its not
only the case with Sateesh. a number of small children, middle aged
and old aged persons, who were away from burning crackers to avoid
pollution have also lost their eyes because of others' mistakes.
A small boy, who is admitted in Shankara Eye hospital Bangalore
when met said innocently: "I didn't know anything about the crackers.
i just tried to lit one, which did not lit up for the first time. as
per the advice of my friends, i just blowed air into it from my mouth
by sitting to it closely and it directly fell into my eyes." the boy
shed his tears by telling he could not see anything now.
The doctors are stating that, no exact predictions can be done at
this moment. but, most of the injured are suffering from definite
temporary blindness with one eye visibility and a few cases are really
doubtfull and soon will be declared as blind.
According to a health analysis, the statistics of blindness are
increasing year by year that to after the months of november, December
and January, as these months are highly filled with crackers due to
festivals, new year etc. most of the hospitals of the city evidenced
with the cases of lungs infection, throat infection, cold fever, viral
infection and deadly injuries, which are all caused out of crackers
and their smoke. comparitively to the last year statics, it is
increased this year with more eye injuries, especially with the
consequence of one eye blindness. The Narayan Nethralay, Shankara Eye
Hospital, Shekar Eye Hospital etc were found with over crowded eye
injury patients, who were all injured with crackers.
As a whole, the lighting festival which is celebrated to bring
light and colours into the life humans has resulted with darkness for
ever in innumerous lives out of human vanity and irresponsibility.
